Economic Indicators: Saving Jobs and Trying Times

The White House announced this week that its $787 billion economic stimulus package has saved or created more than 1 million jobs since it was enacted in February. To help us parse these and other economic indicators, we talk with Lakshman Achuthan, managing director of the Economic Cycle Research Institute, a market analysis company in New York. We also speak with Louise Story, a Wall Street and finance reporter with the New York Times, about what financial troubles at Harvard and Yale mean for higher education and the economy as a whole.

This is a start, but with the economic damage that was done, there is a long ways to go. It is too bad that the Bush Administration did not start the efforts a year earlier. Even better, had we never unwould all of the regulations created in Roosevelt's time.
